Many filmmakers head to picturesque Outback locations throughout New South Wales to make movies.

Baz Luhrmann filmed a section of the movie Australia in the heart of Broken Hill, 1117 kilometres west of Sydney. Nick Cave's The Proposition is set in the Australian outback in the 1880s. Create your own Outback adventure in this quirky mining town and get a taste of the wild beauty and romance of the Outback in less than an hour's flight from Sydney.

A variety of 19th-century buildings can be found nearby in Silverton, just 25 kilometres north-west of Broken Hill. The town has attracted filmmakers for decades, with the circa 1880 Silverton Hotel and its surrounds being used in Australian productions such as Dirty Deeds, A Town Like Alice and Mad Max 2.

Get involved in the film spirit and bushwalk on a marked trail from Lake Crackenback through film locations featured in the 2006 movie Jindabyne or ride "Man from Snowy River" country on a horseback Safari in Kosciuszko National Park. Sip beer in the Royal Mail Hotel in Braidwood, featured in the movie Ned Kelly, or check out movie memorabilia in the Silverton Hotel.
